Effects of the Serotonergic Anxiolytic Buspirone on Plasma Glucose and Glucose-Induced Hyperglycemia in Mice

ABSTRACT: Effects of the serotonergic anxiolytic buspirone on plasma glucose and glucose-induced hyperglycemia were studied in mice. Buspirone did not affect plasma glucose levels of non-fasted mice, while it increased serum insulin levels. In fasted mice, buspirone significantly reduced glucose-ind...
